I got up early and read my scriptures and put a roast in the crockpot.  I ironed James's shirt and set his clothes and shoe out for him.  Jared gets his kids ready and goes to Church with us.  Darrel and Trina left early because Trina has to work this afternoon. 

Cory Seymore from the high council, and his dad Daryl were the speakers in our sacrament meeting.  The topic was marriage.  In other news, Sean Hunsaker is our new ward mission leader.  He will be great! 

Jared and his kids stayed the entire block.  I helped Anna find her class while Jared got the other kids settle in their classes.  I introduced Anna to Alice Wilhelm. 

During Sunday School we talked about the sacrifices made to build the Nauvoo temple.  Jared was right there with us. 

During Young Women Kaeli Nicoll taught a lesson on "Qualities of Righteous Women and Mothers."

After church we had a big lunch before Jared's family left for home.  We had BBQ beef sandwiches, macaron and cheese, pasta, beans, and salad.

After lunch James took a nap, Jared & Tricia took their kids on one last Razr ride, and I cleaned the kitchen.
I made a visit to the clubhouse at the request of Anna and Emmy.

Anna and Emmy gave me my birthday gifts.  A candle and some lotion.  Two of my favorite things.

After we said our goodbyes James and I watched The Walton's and Cedar Cove.  We have to be in Scottsdale tomorrow by 5am.  I talked James into leaving at 1am tomorrow morning.

Rain in the distance.

Ominous clouds.

Love the clouds!

From my Patriarchal Blessing:
"I bless you that you will have material blessings, that you will never want for the necessities of life, that the way will be opened before you and your companion that you will be able to rear your family to honorable maturity and be able to help many others who are not so fortunate as yourself."
I was up early and put a roast and all the fixings in my cast iron pot. I turned on the oven to 250 degrees and put the pot in the oven. Dinner will be ready when we get home from Church a little after 2pm.
Sheri, Alex, and Ben all bore the testimonies in Sacrament meeting today.
I had a family history meeting with Karen Schneider and Terry Lambson during Sunday School. We are discussing our upcoming approach to family history in the ward. Terry's main concern is getting some more consultants called since I will be gone at the end of March.
Drea Boles taught the lesson in Relief Society on the "Blessings of the Temple." It was great.
James and I came home, said a prayer to break our fast, and ate our dinner and then took a nap. We were going to go to the cabin this afternoon but decided to leave in the morning instead.
Today was the Super Bowl and Nana's (Ian's mom) birthday so there was a party at the Trezise's. The Patriot's are playing the Giant's in the Super Bowl. Alex is a big Patriot's fan but they lost 21 to 17.
Joshua told James and I this evening that Michael told him that he got bit by a giner and now he has gingerbitis. Where does he come up with these things?
